Before I talked about how to sync your iPhone or iPod Touch with your Google Calendar. And today I’d like to show you how to sync with your calendar on Google Apps using your own domain name.
You use the same settings as you would if you were syncing to your regular Google account. But your username would be your email@yourdomain.com. The next step is to activate ActiveSync on your Google Apps domain. To enable this service on Google Apps…
- Log into your dashboard and click the Mobile link or just go to https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/YOURDOMAIN.COM/MobileSettings/ to get there. and select the checkbox.
- Select the checkbox that’s next to Enable Google Sync
- Click Save Changes. And you’re done!
If you’re having problems, leave a comment or check out Google Apps Help.

If you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone, it’s now easier than ever to sync with your Google Calendar. Before I was using NuevaSync which is a great service that’s free and works with Google Calendar, Google Contacts, and Plaxo. But now you can sync directly through Google as long as your iPod has firmware 2.2 or higher. Here’s how…
First of all, back everything up that you need to. Upload any contacts or calendars from your phone to your computer because the iPod will delete them all during setup. It’s kind of annoying, but it’s great once you’re synced up. I went through this process myself and everything went smoothly.
Here’s the link to the official Google page from where I took these instructions and pictures:
Sync: Set Up Your iPhone or iPod Touch
1. Open the Settings application on your device’s home screen.
2. Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
3. Tap Add Account….
4. Select Microsoft Exchange.

Just to show that they don’t care about old people, nearly 500 US TV stations will begin broadcasting in only digital early (since Congress passed the delay).
Nielsen recently reported that 6.5 million U.S. homes were unprepared for the upcoming transition.
Just who are the people who are left not able to do this switch? For heaven’s sakes, they’ve been advertising this switch thing for over 2.5 years. Anyone that doesn’t have cable/satellite/a digital converter box probably deserves to be without TV for a while. I am willing to bet that even when the switch happens, there will still be several millions who didn’t see it coming…

April 11, 1965 is still remembered by many: that day a brutal string of tornados hit the states of Iowa, Indiana, and Michigan with wind gusts as high as 318 miles per hour, killing 250 people and injuring some 1500 others. The first funnel cloud hit the ground at 1 p.m. with others following at varying intervals, up to 5:30 pm. The storms intensified as they day progressed. An F4 storm hit Koontz Lake, Indiana and 2 other twisters hit Wakarusa, and Goshen, doing massive damage to homes, and local infrastructure.
More storms continued to develop over the course of that same day. The worst of the tornados, an F5 storm with winds reaching speeds of up to 318 miles per hour landed at Elkhart Indiana and destroyed the Sunnyside subdivision killing over 30 people. One of the funnel clouds was a colossal eight hundred yards wide, leaving a trail of devastation in its path. Telephone and electrical lines where knocked out by the high winds. The phone system was down and, as a result, local city officials where unable to warn others in the path of the storm of the severe danger. The day progressed and tornados hit many other counties. The damage from all these rapidly occurring storms was devastating.
The impact that these storms had on the area was huge. The U.S. weather bureau conducted a full investigation after the storm and established the need for better methods to communicate warnings to residents and officials in other areas of approaching storms. It was just a little while after this that the Weather Service started to put out announcements indicating that tornados where likely to form and where they were traveling once they had hit the ground.
